Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr R A Douglass brought claims against Glamorgan Accident Repair Centre (in creditors voluntary liquidation) and the Secretary of State for Business and Trade. The matter was heard at Cardiff by CVP on 14 March 2025 before Employment Judge A Williams. The claimant appeared in person, the First Respondent did not attend, and the Second Respondent was represented by Mr P Soni as lay representative.

The Tribunal dismissed all three claims on time-limit grounds. The claim for unpaid wages relating to notice pay and holiday pay was dismissed under s.23(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Tribunal finding it was reasonably practicable to present the claim within the time limit. The claim for redundancy pay was dismissed under s.164 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Tribunal finding it was not just and equitable that the claimant should receive a redundancy payment.

The complaint against the Second Respondent in respect of an application under s.182 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (the insolvency payments scheme) was dismissed as not brought within the time limit under s.188 of that Act, the Tribunal again finding it was reasonably practicable to do so.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
